The Jones Act was written to protect people who do maritime work. The work can be dangerous, and the workplace is far from hospitals and emergency help. The Jones Act holds companies accountable for providing a safe work environment. At our personal injury law firm, we fully understand your rights, and we will ensure that those rights are met. In a precedent-setting case, personal injury attorney Joseph “Buzzy” Joy represented a seaman who had suffered back injuries. The worker had been told to lift a 135-pound object. Our expert, a biomedical engineer, proved the weight was too heavy to lift without assistance. The employer was negligent for providing an unsafe workplace.

Our law firm represents seamen and offshore workers who have been injured because of the negligence of employers.
